Manchester City moved back top of the Premier League with a nerve-jangling 1-0 victory over Tottenham on Saturday. Phil Foden got the crucial goal in the fifth minute in just his second Premier League start as City gained some revenge for their midweek Champions League exit to the same side.

Positives

The emotional Champions League exit had the potential to give City a hangover and derail their Premier League hopes. The title remains in their own hands if they keep on winning and this game will have been circled on their calendar as a dangerous fixture. They weren't quite at their best but managed to come away with the three points and pile the pressure back on Liverpool ahead of their trip to a rejuvenated Cardiff City.

Negatives

Kevin De Bruyne's frustrating season may have come to an early end with yet another injury. Just when he was ready to kick on to challenge to become the best player in the world, his campaign has been cruelly hit by persistent setbacks. In the short term his absence will be a blow for the crucial Manchester derby on Wednesday, but it may be the opportunity for a long period of recuperation to ensure he's at his best for next season.

Manager rating out of 10

7 -- Pep Guardiola needed to freshen up his side after Wednesday night late heartbreak, but drafting in 18-year-old Foden for just his second Premier League start in such a pivotal game was a big call. It took just five minutes for it to pay off. His side were driven by the emotion of that Champions League exit but, at times, their composure was lost as Spurs created a number of good opportunities. His decision to replace De Bruyne's flair with the pragmatism of Fernandinho gave them a little more control.
